240D clutch strong enough for 3.0L?
240D clutch strong enough for 3.0L?
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I recently put a 240D 4 speed manual into my 300SD. Love the manual transmission. Really improves the performance and driver enjoyment. The only problem is that the clutch slips occasionally. I checked the fritcion plate before installing and it was okay. Thinking it's either a weak pressure plate or that the clutch isn't strong enough for the 3.0L turbo.

Perhaps yours is worn out. I had similar issues on a 300D, got a new disc and plate combo (well they weren't new, just second hand but in good order, and from a 240D) and it works great.

AFAIK It's the same disc / pressure plate for 240D / 300D
